How do you replace the round scratch pad? Unless I'm blonder than usual, it looks like the plastic tabs would break off.

The scratch pad is more like corrugated cardboard wound around and around.. you can turn the unit over and press the cardboard and it will slip out from underneath the clips.. I have had this one for some time.. I even put some catnip down in between the rows to attract my kitty cat, and it has held up. Still no show of wear of tear..and he bites at it..

I have not had to change it on this one however I had one a few years ago for another cat. She used it for years and I replaced the pad dozens of times. I know they look flimsy but they never broke. Pull the pad out from under one and then gently pull/wiggle the rest of the pad out. Good luck (again, they are stronger than they look).

How funny! While I was trying to figure it out I turned it over and all the catnip fell out. Put in more catnip and nowmy cat is playing with it! Also wasn't blond, but my hairdresser had lightened my hair to the point that it may be causing this.

It just takes a little maneuvering to get the cardboard scratcher out from under the tabs and a little bending of the cardboard. I've replaced mine before and nothing broke. But don't forget, you can turn it over once too before you replace it. Good luck!

Couldn't help seeing the Blonde jokes so I had to join in! LOL What do you call a Brunette in a room full of Blondes?

There are four plastic tabs that hold the scratch pad in. Turn the toy over and there are holes beneath them. Putting your finger through the holes, push the cardboard in. Usually just pressing in on three of them, you can slide the pad out. And as someone else, said, you can turn it over and use the other side.

The cardboard is more flexible than the plastic. When I wrestled, and is was difficult, the plastic did not break the ring bent sort of.

my daughters did the same thing, I placed the tablet on the table and replaced the plastic pieces[ control bars] in the slots very carefully, and replaced the top part, and waited for it to snap shut,[ press on all 4 sides] then placed a touch of super glue on all four corners, so it will not come apart again, 1 st time it went back, but came open again, glue the sides to keep it from coming open again, if it get's to the point it won't work any more, it's cheaper I found, to just buy another one, then to pay to have it repaired.

If the plastic tab was already removed then it could be that the batteries are dead. I have had to replace the batteries in our ball. Once I did that it was fine. Any hours and hours of enjoyment for all.

You should contact the company you bought them from. I think you should be able to get a free replacement. I bought 3 of these and none of the kids are having trouble with them. They love them.

I'm surprised you're searching for new pads...My steamer didn't work long enough for me to go through the first set of pads. Tried taking it apart to fix it, but everything is welded in such a way...it's not worth buying.

There should be a place to pop it up on the edges. Use a table knife to pop it up if you don't have long enough nails. It kinda goes in at an angle then snaps down. Then replace cover. Hope this helps!

Blah blah blah "it'll scratch" blah blah... Get creative people! Like maybe...Cover your magnetic holder with a piece of paper towel. You pull a knife off, but the other knives still hold it in place. And it's obviously easily replaceable.Or, for something more permanent, paint your holder with Plastidip or liquid electrical tape. Heck, even latex paint would probably work! (Certainly wouldn't be my first choice though...)Anyway, I'm sure you get the point. Get creative.

Push down and squeeze the tabs in. I found it much easier than my prior model. I hope this works for you. Hard to tell you without pics.

I'm sorry, I have no idea where you can get a new stylus tip. I think I would start by asking the sellers if they have replacement tips. Sorry I don't know any more.

You can contact the seller about the problem and they'll send you a new better pack for free. I had the same problem and the new pads are amazing

Take off the rubber part and then on the plastic part you have to you put the MIDDLE tab thing that's on the side of it and it should be easy from there

Replace it through the tip - plastic end first, while holding in the other end. It should slide right in.

Mine had a plastic pull out tab. Have you tried opening it to see if the tab is there but just got stuck inside? If there's no tab I'd say this is maybe one that was returned.

Did you peel the paper off of the sticky pad on the bottom? I've had mine for a year and it sounds great wherever I put it, however it's about time to replace the sticky pad.
